Hi Sharon, yes, unfortunately, shipping is very expensive. But right now, the US group has received an offer from Humble Stitch. If you send your squares to them before the middle of December, they will mail them to South Africa for you ! Here's the info:
Hello Sharon, so glad you have joined our world-wide family of knitters and crocheters. We are dedicated to keeping the children in South Africa warm.
If you haven’t already, please read through the welcome message on the forum main page for helpful hints and things that might interest you. http://forum.knit-a-square.com
If you appreciate a “challenge”, you might like to join the Monthly challenge. This is a fun way to try new ideas. Every month, a theme is chosen to challenge the forum members to create something new and different......it could be a new colour, a different stitch or a totally new way of knitting/ crocheting. An 8” square is the perfect size for experimenting.
This month’s challenge is What a Beautiful World . Have a look at what some of us have made and then join us in making a square or two that express your idea of what makes this a beautiful world.
And as always, making the basic square is a wonderful way to relax and still help the children. As Debbie has explained, Plain Jane squares, as they are affectionately called, are the backbone of KAS. They are always needed.
Whatever you decide, we would love to see photos of your work. Click on the photo option at the top of the page, click “Add” and follow the prompts.
Welcome, Sharon. A Plain Jane is any simple, unpatterned, unadorned square. Most blankets are made up of many Plain Janes and a few fancy squares. See the photos on the "Photos" tab above for examples. I'm a Plain Jane type myself, good at churning out many plain squares and only a few fancy ones now and then. So glad you joined us!
